The most promising Xbox RPGs of 2013 and beyond

OXM - Nothing gets us hotter under the collar or moister of armpit than the thought of a new role-playing game - and the years ahead are ablaze with promise on that count, despite a general unwillingness to share details for fear of giving away the status of next gen hardware.

I was disappointed by DA2 but I think DA3 will be interesting, providing there's truth to the rumours about taking control of the inquisition.

One thing I'd like them to do with the next gen hardware is dramatically increase the number and variety of combat animations, so that battles look like actual, properly choreographed battles rather than people knocking hitpoints off each other.

Mass Effect 4
Cyberpunk 2077
Fallout 4
Dragon Age 3
Dark Souls 2
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Lightning Returns FF13
South Park The Stick of Truth

landog4105d ago

i'll be playing all of these games!

cannot wait

though i will be playing them all on pc, except dragons dogma expansion, might pick that up on ps3 or 360, depending on which platform runs better

KnightRobby4105d ago

The Witcher 3 is going to be amazing. I am really hoping they nail the entire open-world feel while maintaining the affect a player has on the world.

linkenski4105d ago

If they make a proper jump mechanic, it would make the world so much more impressive.

PS4isKing_824105d ago

Gotta say that's a pretty lame list of games.
Seriously? Lightning returns and mass effect 4?
Those have become two of the most hated series from this gen.

And the rest in that list isn't anything special either.

ShugaCane4105d ago

If you find nothing special in Cyberpunk 2077 or Fallout 3, maybe you should keep playing Halo or Call of Duty.

Good_Guy_Jamal4105d ago

No offense but you're way off on Mass Effect. 3's ending may have angered a vocal view but the series in no way hated by many.

hano4105d ago

Well Mass effect has become stale.

Perjoss4104d ago

hano, you have to have some faith my friend, for all we know ME4 could be even better than ME1, lets wait and see shall wee. Nobody is saying you gotta go out and buy it on day 1, but at least give them the benefit of the doubt until the reviews start rolling in.

hano4105d ago (Edited 4105d ago )

If people want RPG's they should get a gaming PC.
That's where the really good RPGs are coming.

Wastelands 2, Project Eternity, ShadowRun...and many more.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos4h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis20h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast18h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake12h ago
